There’s overwhelming bipartisan agreement that the NFL replacement refs “acted stupidly.” Shockingly, President Obama has yet to weigh in.
I'm shocked that @barackobama hasn't chimed in about the replacement refs. I was under the impression that sports were his #1 priority

So how long before we get the @BarackObama statement that the @NFL refs acted stupidly ? Because anything #Obama says fixes everything.

Still, some furious NFL fans are pinning their hope for change on everyone’s favorite uniter. Will the meddler in chief facilitate another beer, er, Gatorade summit? He’s not too into the 3:00 a.m. phone calls, but will he take this one?
Dear mr president @BarackObama did u see that game?? Greenbay isnt my team but that was #wrong u need to fix that the #refs are #insane

Please, please let these people be joking about getting President Father Figure to heal the NFL’s wounds.
But could wading into the NFL controversy secure Obama the White House for four more years? Let’s see what the armchair political strategists have to say:
Hey President @BarackObama how bout u gain some more votes right quick by gettin the @nflcommish to get this right with the refs.
